How the hell hard is it to run Kellogs. You make cereal.
ps Steve Jobs begged Gates for a loan when Apple was on its last breath. Gates gave him the money so he could have a "competitor" to show anti trust. Its funny how that worked out.
Similar to Intel which dominated AMD for years with 85/15 mkt share for a long time but tables have turned of late.
US system is so corrupt - pay is set by board members who often are OTHER CEOs or C level execs. Imagine if at your job your pay was set by people doing the same job at other companies. It is a hilarious system. Germany and Japan CEOs could of course never do the job of American CEOs at 1/30th the price.
But enough about that. Scarcity value baby. Just like why Beyonce and Swift get all the bucks - there are only a few of them on the planet who do what they do and attract the mighty dollar (and yen, euro, etc) Same with guys who can throw a pass 35 yards into a pocket. US CEOs are not like that at all - thats just plain theft aside a few dozen.
Daniel effin Jones who could be out of the league in 24 months is getting 40M lol
Goff is Cousins is Goff. Spiderman.meme Bottom end top 10 QBs with middling mobility but solid in the league. You hope either have a Flacco or Ryan year in them to take you to the Super Bowl (and perhaps win) with a loaded roster around them. They don't change the game but they can play top 10 QB roles.
Murray wants to play video games vs study a playbook and Prescott has had a better OL than even Goff and once the playoff lights come on turns into a pumpkin.
We have no idea of Hooker is a pretty good luxury at this point. He could be a disaster. A lot of first round QBs flame out. Forget 3rd rounders or asterisk 3rd rounders if not for ACL. He is now just a backup. Not a luxury.
A good one?
No idea. And we won't until he is thrown into action.
What if he is a great backup QB on a damn cheap deal while you pay a brinks truck to the starter? (I have no idea if he is shit or not, no one knows)
What if Goff is ever hurt?
Remember when Mahomes had to go out for a few series in a playoff game and Henne came in and managed the game. Vs you know a guy who makes Andre Ware look promising?
It doesnt buy you happiness but it buys you time and comfort and less stress. It buys you access to important people. it buys you gold played healthcare that many Americans never could get (except maybe ironically the most poor on Medicaid) It buys you the ability to not worry you will be in an abusive situation in a senior living center in the last 2-3 years of your life vs a full time care giver (or 10) at your own home. It buys you the ability to travel the world and see any culture you wish, in any time frame without a care in the world of worried about "returning to work". A very high end floor is built into your life that most never will see as a ceiling.
Vs the single mom working 2 jobs to try to survive til next week.
Miserableness is usually due to trying to keep up with the Joneses, and lifestyle creep. Vs just the ability to have a great quality of life without a care of being destitute ever again or even "average" ever again.
This is a great country to be dirt poor (and knowing all the ins and outs of every government program) or exceedingly rich. It's not that easy of a country for the middle 65%.
Shhh - we are in denial mode. Just about anyone is as good as better as Sanderson as the guy 4 posts above you said.
10 years of deity worship on this board to Sanderson but the minute he was punted, just about anyone can do his job per Rico. If so just go to the local YMCA and get a dude for $18/hr
Pickers can't be choosers this late to the process. If he ain't good, he will be off to a MAC team or whatever in a year or two. Then his spot will be utilized for someone new. Reality.
Just doing some reading over there havent kept up because WE HAVE JUST WON A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP but it appears Miami (YTM) and Oregon bought their best defensive line players lol. Miami isn't even a good program - hell MSU beat them a few years back. And Oregon is now a conference rival. How insulting.
Whatever players they do find of any value will be bought by others. Going to be hilarious if Chiles is any good - he is going to be bought by someone else. As will any other player who is decent. LOLz
Welcome to being a feeder program despite "top 25 in revenue and facilities" - Valenti
Stop feeling bad for them, ironically or not. You apparently dont remember the tunnel when they assaulted multiple players from our program. Multiple posters on RCMB were hoping the plane would have crashed when UM bb had airplane issues about 8 years ago. Its a disgusting fan base.
You don't remember a lot of things if you ironically feel bad.
How many winning seasons do they have again this decade????
BUT BUT BUT Johnny3x7x7xx says Michigan cannot win 7 games every year because of the loss of talent and the mentalstate guy says if every other team would not hold MSU on every play they would have been 15-0 the last 30 seasons
These suck and I am not old man yelling at clouds guy - I love the alternative Detroit Lions uni and helmet! These are like Michigan's bumble bees. Pathetic.
Real talk - outside of DE and Loveland name me a singular player on offense who will be drafted next year or the year after. Dont give me Semaj nonsense or the transfer from Northwestern.
This really goes against what Michigan is mostly doing. I realize they have gotten 3-4 dudes out of the portal annually but they have been relying on NILing their home grown talent mostly. Now many of these guys won't be sticking around long enough to wait their turn to be a home grown talent.
His game in the Big 12 championship was crazy. More impact on a game than most guys have in a year.
Suh had one of the great games in Big 12 championship game history, producing a career-best 4.5 sacks among his team-high 12 tackles -- seven of which were for a loss.
I would want Mel there as long as possible. In retrospect he was a total loser and a bad coach who got lucky 1 year. MSU got a get out of jail free card (or relatively free) and could hire someone with basic ethics. It would have been much better to see another 5 years of Mel and then a sad buyout 75+ million in, circa 2030.
When ZZ broke his leg three guys from OSU stood near him much closer than the rest of the OSU team and looked genuine concerned helmets off. JT, Hall, and I forgot the third.
Anthony Carter would like a word. As would about 8 other people.
Woodson on his own island than Desmond near that island and about 10 people in the other 3 spots. I am not old enough to know lor view the film of one Tom Harmon.
A lot of people would hold a closer bond if they were in an era of social media, constant information flow, and/or their team went 15-0 vs 9-3. Jake Long would be in that latter camp.
Offensive minded coach, best WR in the NFL, adequate OL, have a veteran to take the beatings in year 1 ahead of him but not a veteran who is going to be around long to compete against etc. A lot better situation than the others although Chicago has a chance to make a big jump if they hit on their picks.
Lions gave up a lot to move up. Every trade value chart said that it was more appropriate to give up a mid to late 4th.
That said if Arnold is an All Pro no one will care. And we don't know if he is the best corner, the guy from Toledo was taken 2 picks in front of him. And some guy in the 3rd may turn out to be the best in 2 years.
Henne was a 2nd rounder. He started his age 24, 25, and 28 seasons. Career backup from there - 7 seasons, played 17 games total in those 7 years.
His bank account is a winner that's for sure.
Reminds me a bit of rich man's Jim Sorgi who backed up Manning in Indy for 6 years - greatest job in the world, get paid and do nothing while traveling the US and having fun. Guy threw like 150 passes in his career.
Yes look at the 21 draft. Lawrence was "generational" - best QB since Luck but got stuck with Urbz. After that every other QB drafted in the FIRST round has been booted by his team in 3 years!!

Do you think it really makes a difference if he is paid $48M a year vs $53M?
It's 5M a year in a salary cap era which jumps a lot yearly
Either he shows out or doesn't. The extra $5M is costing us a 3rd safety or backup lineman at current rates.
At $48M people would be "giddy" at the bargain.
That said if I am Burrow's agent I am ripping up the contract and holding out.
We have no idea of Hooker is a pretty good luxury at this point. He could be a disaster. A lot of first round QBs flame out. Forget 3rd rounders or asterisk 3rd rounders if not for ACL. He is now just a backup. Not a luxury.

It's cute but WR recruiting is going against us due to the narrative that is working unfortunately.

Marvin "Alligator" Harrison wouldnt compete for the first catch because he acted a bitch and was afraid of getting hit.

Boy good question
